Absolutely astonishing !
One of my greatest travel experience.
The world's greatest reclining Buddha and the biggest bronze statue in the world.
This little town with this incredible temple changed my life forever....

In the mood for Christmas in Fukuoka.

Time to lunch: famous eel restaurant "Yoshizuka Unagiya" ^^
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE !
Taking forces 4 椎名林檎 concert !

It's a lovely journey throught Saga Prefecture.
A good start with Arita Porcelain, some very tasty specialities ( tea, sake, fish)

A very quiet and historical place in Ogi: a gallery and café in a real Edo House.
Come taste a good matcha and ice-cream with beams in the way of Samurai !

It's 3 AM in Fukuoka City, i am back from the concert and the after party and sorry for my vulgar french but "wowowowowowowowowowow P*****"
What a day and night!
I'have never experienced that since my first Prince concert !
I SAW RINGO SAMA !!!!
My only regret is that lenght of concert was too short. It should have lasted several hours more.
Concert was too speed to realize
Opening with Honnou was terrific, Queen Ringo !
Great setlist that mixes all her carreer.
The new arrangements are gorgeous for several songs.
Thanks to NEKO Saito as usual.
It was an EXPO concert so choregraphy and light show were near of perfection.
And of course when i heard Shun live, it made almost cry !
HZM is always a killer ^^ what a keyboardist...
"Ma chérie" was so cute, especially when you are french
And many guests like Mummy D. It was unexpected for me !
I will be there for the next Fukuoka concert, i promise !
Then, after party was the best moment for discussion, meeting new charming fans.
Shopkeepers and all the fans were so welcoming.
I will never forget !

Momijidani Park in this treasure island.
Even under the rain, you can feel harmony, mystical mood...

NIHON SANKEI !

Time for a karaoke/cosplay singing classic and modern japanese tunes!

Without words at Genbaku Dome...
TO NEVER FORGET
"It is said that the future is dark.
Looking closely that darkness is within one's self"
The host family was for the most part a disappointment.
Everything had started well but soon I realized that they would not have much time to grant me.
No help from the first day for the JR pass, ditto for transport such as bus or local train and little friend the first week.
After my admonitions, some improvements but the damage was done. Too many financial rewards and little natural help while a lot of gifts on my side had been made.
I finally remember the last days and the sushi restaurant.
in the end, I would have had more help and friendliness from the Russian student who shared the stay. It's a shame...
